In This video, I will be spending a week in the Sonoran Desert with only a knife. I'll be showing the critical steps I take in order to survive. I make a shelter, create friction fire, find and purify water, trap animals, weave baskets, gather edible plants, shape and fire pottery and many other skills.

After a few decades of being obsessed with collecting survival and primitive skills techniques, I am putting out these videos to demonstrate the skills and excursions found at my school, Wild Survival (wildsurvivalskills.com). Videos are focused on primitive skills, rewilding, nature awareness, living off the land, off grid living, indigenous skills, shelter building, primitive fire, water purification, trapping, hunting, bow making, flint knapping, primitive pottery, basketry, edible and medicinal plant preparation and numerous indigenous skills. I began studying wilderness survival when I was 17 in order to have the ability to spend extensive periods of time in nature, seeking out empowerment and without the need for external sources. I began studying in 1993 under Tom Brown Jr eventually teaching for Tracker Inc. I sought-out every old Native American teacher I could and eventually traveled the world living in very remote indigenous villages in the Amazon, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Peru. My school teaches survival and primitive skills, nature awareness, how to live off the land, re-wilding, prepare for disasters. I strongly believe that experiencing survival living changes the way people approach their entire lives.

That was damn well done! I live in Tucson and spend a lot of time in the desert; you picked an excellent shelter-- I've been in small caves in this area that were used by generations of the locals way, way back as hunting shelters, and their fire-rings were still there. Congrats on finding as much food as you did; another very good source early in the year are yucca flowers if you can find them-- they're good raw as well as stewed or added to meat. Also, a *really* good canteen to use in a pinch is a Saguaro cactus "boot", the hollow that forms in the plant when a bird or rodent chews it out to build their home in. The plant grows a layer of scar-tissue around the hole that's like a thick lining of bark, mostly waterproof-- when a saguaro dies, you can usually find several boots among its skeleton. Some of them can get as much as several feet long.

So great that you show that men can make what you need in nature and without fancy expensive tools. You can also make furniture and small cabins with simple means. You must first map local resources before planning what to do. But knowledge is also important, so you know what can be used and how to use it. This also applies to food resources and catches and fishing methods, as well as water resources. Trancelated from Norwegian by Google.

When I was young, I found a book on outdoor survival and it was my favorite read. I could endlessly reread all the sections on making traps, finding edible plants, making fire, etc. I once made a fire using my shoelaces to make a bow but that was it. I never got a chance to actually rough it. Tom makes it look easy. Patience and persistence seem to be a real necessities when you are in a survival situation. I got a real vicarious thrill watching this.

Good technique and very old too. The pottery shards that were found and dated to ~18,000BCE in China show signs of having been made very much like this. Theirs was, by the internal patterns, formed over a reed or grass ball rather than a sand ball, and then held onto the ball with impressing. Theirs was probably fired on the grass.

In a situation of survival in the desert, how do you cleanse yourself after defecating, since there is no water in abundance? It is not a relevant question but it is a real situation. Thanks and congratulations for your videos!!

Tom McElroy-Wild Survival Wow , guess I did! What I meant to say was you don't look like you would be into this kinda stuff just by judging the cover on the book. Just goes to show you how diverse things can be. I will check out your website and keep these coming, be safe man.

Do you leave behind all the things you’ve made while out there? If so, I’m going to go to that spot and take Those pots and things you made! I’ll sell them to a museum!

Eragonrider GT im kidding. but if i was in a situation like that id try to eat fish eyes, drink sweat/urine, and collect rain water. id put something over my head to block the sun light. most likely id die but i wouldnt give up

you can only drink your urine once, if you drink it a second time the acid will build up too much.

its not impossible, it is howeveer very dependant on the situation. ocean water can be boiled and the salt can be removed. there is your hydration. there are plenty of fish in the sea, all you really need is a way to keep a fire alive, a good sized pot, and fishing gear. then it comes down to are you lucky, do you find land, or people, or do you find a hurricane.

@@hunterhollingsworth9058 boiling doesnt remove salt. You'd need to evaporate it and condense it (distill the water) to remove the salt. Not so easy in a boat in the ocean

this was freak'n awesome! 1. how hot did the ground get while barefoot? did that prevent you from going out a certain times? 2. honest question - what do you wipe with? anyone can answer if they know but again this was amazing!

Ground in urbanesque areas during ruthlessly sunny days of similar temperature and humidity can reach temperatures in excess of 114 Fahrenheit. I'm sure in a place where heat is bouncing off every facet and soaking in the entire day would have similar or higher temperatures. In some Australian cities, plastic flip flops or thongs melt to the street as you walk down it, as the black asphalt/tarmac can very easily reach temperatures quite harmful to people who have yet to train resistance against such incredulous heat

At 95 degrees the ground is tolerable and not that hot due to its high surface area; smooth rock hotter than gravel. Wipe with lots of Century Plant/agave or yucca strands; soft, coarse and pliable.
